 Re: Playing a new oboe outside

I had an ex-demo Yamaha 821TP (bought from a Yamaha rep) that cracked from the crown down the right hand side (as you're playing) to the level of the Bb tonehole. This happened in the winter during a rehearsal in a cold rehearsal hall, but Yamaha sent me out a new top joint and all I had to do was transplant the keywork across from the original top joint to the new one.

I sold this oboe around ten years ago and it is still being played by the buyer and the replacement top joint is still fine. I can only assume as it was a demo model, it would have gone through all sorts at exhibitions, so didn't have too good a good start in life.

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010

The opinions I express are my own.
